An efficient, flexible P2P file transmission management technology for limiting and directing of P2P file transmission mainly by replacing an original tracker server with a setting controllable tracker server, and modifying node list based on predetermined rule in the controllable tracker server. With the present invention, a network operator can strengthen function of the controllable tracker server in P2P communication gradually by weakening function of the original tracker server in P2P communication gradually, and utilize various rules or policies established in advance to manage file transfer of P2P nodes.

P2P file transmission management method and system

A storage system and a method for realizing a storage system is disclosed, the storage system comprising: a disk array comprising at least one solid state disk and at least one non-solid state disk; and a storage control means configured to: in response to entering a scrubbing mode, scan and move data blocks in the at least one non-solid state disk in the disk array to form more continuous free blocks. The storage system of the present invention has good read and write performances, higher data reliability and availability, and lower cost.

Performing read and write operations with respect to at least one solid state disk and at least one non-solid state disk

An apparatus and a method for dynamically determining a connection establishment mechanism between virtual machines (VMs) based on locations of the VMs. The apparatus includes a communication agent unit for receiving messages relating to the locations of the VMs, a control unit for determining the connection establishment mechanism between the VMs based on the received messages and a controlling mechanism to establish a connection between the VMs according to the determined connection establishment mechanism. The method includes receiving messages relating to the locations of the VMs, determining the connection establishment mechanism between the VMs based on the received messages, and establishing a connection between the VMs according to the determined connection establishment mechanism.

Method and apparatus for dynamically determining connection establishment mechanism based on the relative locations

An identity authentication method is provided. The method comprises obtaining records information of a valid user, where the records information indicates behaviors having been executed by the valid user; mapping, based on an orthogonal behavior model having multiple mutually orthogonal dimensions, records information to the multiple dimensions, wherein behaviors indicated by records information mapped to different dimensions do not overlap therebetween and have no logical cause and effect relationship; sampling records information mapped to different dimensions, respectively, so as to generate an authentication questionnaire including a plurality of authentication questions; computing, responsive to answers of a client to the authentication questionnaire, a total confidence P for the client being a valid user; outputting a positive authentication result, responsive to the total confidence probability P falling into a confidence interval; and outputting a negative authentication result, responsive to the total confidence probability P failing to fall into a confidence interval. The present invention further provides a corresponding identity authentication apparatus.
